Well whatta you know, death comes with an option A and an option B apparently! Weighing the options, if I had to make a choice between Asgard or isolation it's no contest...and, hey, I've heard good things about Asgard...according to Scáthach.

[In spite of being brought here against his will, Lancer looks about as cool as any cucumber...of course his existence has afforded him very little in the way of free will, so he doesn't have much to complain about.]

It's not exactly what I pictured when I was a brat, but if I could color this place with my influence then I could definitely live here! [Whether that's cause for concern or not remains to be seen.] The only down-tick to this whole ordeal would have to be the power loss...there's really no way to get 'em back, eh? Even Runes, what about those? This is Asgard and I was a master of Runic magic, you'd think that'd translate.

[He'll give a mock derisive snort.]

Guess I can live with it as long as this place is well stocked with booze....but I do have a couple of questions. It's possible to be in the House of One God while liking another without offending the God who...I guess...brought you here, right? I'm not in the mood for a shit storm, but that Loki guy, he's a real pip. [Lancer waves a hand dismissively, that was just a cast off question.] No...no...what I really want to know is this--could anyone qualify for this place, or is there some kind of selection process that they have set in motion?

[It's amazing how one's relaxed, laid-back demeanor could so quickly change into something more ominous and creepy, but Lancer pulls it off...and red eyes are pretty unsettling anyway, but it's the forced grin on his face that's the real problem.]

I'm Lancer by the way, common courtesy if I plan on pumping this place for information.

Oh, I've heard of some people using runes here! I'm not sure how, though...

Why would you like one god more than another here? They're all pretty much the same to us, aren't they?

[chuanifrinn]

So Runes are available here...I wonder why I don't have access to them. Can you tell me anything else missy?

[He was pretty damned skilled when it came to using the original 18 Runes.]

God's personalities very widely, at least that's what I've picked up based on my experiences with them...plus that explanation Loki gave was a good rib-splitter.

[holyfight]

Nuh uh! But I heard you can use them for normal stuff, like cleaning or making jewelry or something!

Oh! Well, I guess that's true, based on the houses they put us in! But they all seem so untouchable to me...

[chuanifrinn]

Making jewelry...that's a waste...

They are usually, I don't expect to be able to get in touch with them, but my father was a god. He's a Celtic god, I don't know much about Norse gods.

[necrowmantic]

Far as I can tell, they pull in anyone. Who needs combat experience to fight a war, huh? Not these guys!

[He just laughs, though.]

I heard some people were given their old powers back, and they exploded! Wish I'd seen it- but apparently that's what happens if we use 'em here.

[Video]

[chuanifrinn]

I have the combat experience, that's a plus as far as I'm concerned. Bring on the battles as long as it's not boring...but there are people I'd rather not meet in this after life.

[Hey, he didn't stick himself for no good reason. It was just a no good order.]

Exploded huh, well that'd be pretty damned inconvenient, I just got here.

[Video]

[necrowmantic]

There hasn't been nearly enough carnage yet, but it's bound to kick up eventually. The other side is pretty fun to slaughter, the... one battle I've been here for, nya ha! ...But eh, that's the problem with afterlives, huh? Anyone who's dead is gonna be there!

But I wouldn't worry too much, I don't think this is the afterlife. I hope not! I don't even remember dying, and that's something I'd totally pay attention to.

That's too bad, I'd hate to get rusty. I still have some skills that need to stay sharp...and I haven't been able to stretch my muscles the way I'd like to...[a beat]...Oi...it will be a problem if that guy turns up, I'll have to end him again.

The last thing I remembered before coming here was death, but I'm Celtic, not Norse, so it's a little confusing.

You don't look like the Lancer I know, if you don't mind my saying so.

[oho, another Servant to tease!]

video

[chuanifrinn]

You don't look like any Servant I've seen so I guess that makes us even.

[He's the troll here damn it.]

[getinthechariot]

Then perhaps you are from a different war than myself!

In which case I have no reason to make an enemy out of you. Although I wouldn't mind a spar, if you're up to it!

[chuanifrinn]

That could be, I know a thing or two about some of the previous wars.

Eheh...I'd give you a run for your money if we were enemies, though I wouldn't say "no" to sparring. Just don't let me down, since my expectations are high now.

"Lancer," huh? That's a really unusual name. And welcome to the city!

[ She sounds cheerful, if distracted, half-paying attention to her own greeting. ]

[video - forever]

[chuanifrinn]

Well it's not so much a name as a Class, but it's easy to say so we'll just go with it.

[And that leave him to wonder if whether or not she's okay.]

[nukeoleptic]

[ The cheerfulness seems earnest enough, even if the vaguely distracted look on her face doesn't entirely go away. She does cut her eyes briefly to him, though. ]

A Class? A Class of what?

[chuanifrinn]

A class of Servants, there are seven different types. We're Heroic Spirits and when we're summoned we are summoned into a Class based on our abilities in our former lives.

Hello Mr. Lancer, I know all about the runes in this place. I know a pretty good reason why your runes don't work here.

[Video]

[chuanifrinn]

Just Lancer's fine, I don't stand too much on formalities.

So kiddo, what do you know about the runes, then?

[Video]

[snugglesjugs]

Oh sure and you can call me Aladdin!

The place has unique flow of magical energy, any runes used outside of this world aren't going to work. While having any runic knowledge is great, it isn't going to be too much help unless you know how they work here.

[callmeimouto]

...You mentioned death, wait does this mean you died already?

video;

[chuanifrinn]

Twice actually. Impressive, isn't it?

video;

[callmeimouto]

Should you really be bragging about dying twice? Doesn't that just mean you suck at living?

[integrous]

H.. hey, you can't just act like any of this stuff is normal! You've got to at least freak out a little when you're suddenly dumped into a situation like this, not act like you're going on some sort of vacation!

[ .. as if everyone is even the same, Asahi.. ]

[chuanifrinn]

I've seen too much weird shit in my life to lose my cool over every little thing. Besides, this is much better than death.

[integrous]

.. You were serious about what you were saying just now? [ She looks a little more awkward at that. ] About being dead?
